I’m hoping everyone went out of their way to express their thanks to our military and first responders and took a moment of silence to honor Americas fallen heroes.
As someone said on the news a couple of days ago, “Freedom isn’t Free”. That says it all.
Lest we forget, we still live in a very dangerous world where evil is far from stamped out as we’re seeing with the senseless destruction of the Ukraine. What hasn’t been destroyed is the countries will and absolute refusal to be dominated by a foreign dictator.
Long live the Ukraine!!! And I hope our leaders see fit to assist in every way possible to send this stupidity and the senseless loss of life.
In the markets, there is little joy and our government seems bent on simply finding someone else to blame for everything rather than taking a sober look in the mirror. Energy prices continue to spiral upward and the best they can offer is that Putin is to blame. Let’s don’t discuss the cancelled keystone pipeline, halting of drilling on public lands etc. A quick google search will show you that only 40% of our oil production is used in auto motor fuels. The rest fuels trains, planes, ships, long haul trucks and farmer’s tractors and 10% goes into making plastics that are used in making everything from plastic bags to the dash in your car. The escalating costs directly affect consumer prices for almost everything.
The idiotic idea that we are going to make everything electric is just that “Idiotic”. Then lets see Where does electricity come from ???? to listen to some of the “green everything imbeciles” you’d think it simply fell out of the sky.
Not unless we bring back Nicola Tesla from the dead and he finishes his project to capture static electricity….
Until our government sobers up and makes an unabashed commitment to energy independence and accepts that for many many decades we’ll be relaying on fossil fuels we’ll be seeing ridiculous and crippling energy prices that will feed inflation and destroy what would have been an otherwise quite healthy economy.

Italy 2022 Windsurfer Spring Cup
On April 9th and 10th of this year, this new Division sponsored the Windsurfer Spring Cup National Regatta, the venue for which is historic Anzio, Italy. Throughout this Regatta, the Energy Drink was promoted extensively, in particular, on the beach of Anzio with young, lively, attractive company representatives presenting the product as it is, and in a new line of specifically formulated cocktails.
This promotional effort was further enhanced by way of a festival-like atmosphere, which was generated by the presence of many great food stands, restaurants, shops, children’s and family entertainment venues at a nearby shopping center. At the center of it all, and resting atop a specially constructed cupola, was a 3-meter tall, brightly illuminated Dino Luzzi Energy Drink, which was clearly visible to tourists and locals alike, from the Ciampino Rome airport, and will remain accessible to the local community for the entire summer.

ECRID, the New Credit Bureau Files New IPO
STUART, Fla. , Oct. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — ECRID (OTC: ECDD) is the New Credit Bureau ( www.ECRID.com ) that offers each member the opportunity to create their own personal ECRID Credit Report with conventional and unconventional creditors that they have paid on time to validate their credit worthiness (rental payments included) to lenders. Each Credit Report Holder starts out with a Perfect 950 Credit Score.
An ECRID executive said, “We’re extremely excited and thrilled to prepare to launch one of the most exciting and novel Fintech Credit Lending platforms of its kind, at a time where a large percentage of adults have cash flow, but unfortunately deemed to have poor credit scores.”
First, ECRID Bill Pay Service is second to none. ECRID Credit Report Holders will pay their monthly bills listed on their ECRID Credit Report, through an automated ECRID Electronic Payment System. Once payment is processed, the ECRID Credit Score and payment status will update in real time on the ECRID User’s Credit Report. This process and method gives Lenders validation on how each ECRID Credit Report Holder pays their bills. Secondly, ECRID Credit Report Holders will be able to apply for loans (Home, Auto & Personal loans) inside their ECRID Business Center. Lenders will have access to sign up at www.ECRID.com to become a member and offer their services to the ECRID Credit Report Holders who are looking for financing. The goal is to start offering lending services in November 2021 . ECRID Lenders will be asked not to pull an Equifax, Experion, or Transunion credit report, but instead, base their Novel Fintech Sector Lending on the actual individual user’s ECRID Credit Report. This will give the ECRID User (borrower) a fresh start and a second chance at reestablishing themselves as credit-worthy borrowers. The company’s (ECRID) primary objective is to base the lending decision on the user’s (borrower) ECRID Credit Report along with the user’s (borrower) income-to-debt ratio.

Greenridge Global Research update
Up To 100 CBD Lab Lounges To Be Launched
Up To 100 CBD Lab Lounges To Be Launched. Yesterday, the Company announced a ten-year deal with American Development Partners (“ADP”) to finance and develop up to 100 CBD Lounges, similar to CANB’s Lab2 format at its Miami facility. The Lab2 concept, which is nearing completion, features a bar/lounge consumption area with viewing windows to see products, like gummies and gelato, being made. The ADP-developed lounges are expected to be similar, having a bar/lounge space with viewing windows to see various end products being produced. The lounges will serve CANB as a relatively cheap way to establish regional production and distribution, enable it to build its brands on a national level, engage in a wider range of product R&D, and increase branded product sales in the lounges. ADP has budgeted $4 million for each lounge (committing $200 million with an option for another $200 million), and will receive a 10% development fee and a 20-year lease on each lounge from CANB. No additional details were released, other than the Company noting no equity was involved in the deal. ADP has a history of real estate development projects, with clients ranging from Wendy’s, Subway, Hampton Inn, Gold’s Gym, and AutoZone, among many other nationwide chains.

ValuEngine Weekly Report
The Many Faces of QQQ
May 31, 2022 by Herb Blank
The history of QQQ, Invesco QQQ Trust, is that it was a game-changer from the very start. Beginning in 1999 with the development of the Nasdaq-100 index by John Jacobs, then a Nasdaq executive and now a professor at Georgetown and Steven Bloom, the product was an overnight success.
It was Jacobs’ vision to take advantage of the Nasdaq’s success of getting innovative tech companies to list there just as dial-up internet was in its early stages of adoption by the public. At the time, Nasdaq’s catch phrase was “the Stock Market for the Next 100 years”. The index leadership certainly captured that spirit. Between effective advertising and outrageously high returns in 1999, QQQ captured the imagination of brokers and financial advisors and beyond that even saw meaningful flows from the retail market. This was unprecedented at the time for the ETF industry. Even though the SPDR (SPY) had launched in 1993 and a handful of other products followed, SPY, MDY, DIA and 17 country ETFs called WEBS (now iShares-MSCI) were primarily institutional trading products used mainly as proxies for futures. Success had been measured more by trading volume than asset capture. QQQ changed all that and paved the way for an avalanche of new products launched in the next 5 years, including iShares and Select Sector SPDRs.
